Expert Tips

Accurately measure out the dry baking mix by spooning it into a standard dry-ingredient measuring cup, then leveling the top with a straight-edge metal spatula or knife; don’t scoop it or pack it down. This ensures the dough will be soft and just the right consistency to cook up light and fluffy rather than dense and chewy.

Stir in a couple teaspoons of a favorite dried herb or a seasoning blend into the dry mix before adding the milk, or sprinkle the dumplings with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finish.

Be sure the stew is boiling when you drop in the dumplings, so the bottoms cook well at the start. Lower the heat to finish slowly cooking the dumplings completely, so they aren’t soggy and doughy in the center.

More About This Recipe

It’s the humble, simple foods that are often the ones we love most. It’s no surprise, then, that hundreds of home cooks have given this Bisquick dumplings recipe top ratings. It’s easy, consistently reliable and—best of all—delicious. Food historians believe that steamed or boiled bits of dough often were served to “stretch” meals and satisfy hungry appetites when meat was scarce. In England, boiled dumplings and Yorkshire pudding were prime examples of this culinary strategy. But it often turns out that the filler becomes the most popular part of the meal, and that’s certainly the case with dumplings, which add a special homemade touch to everything from beef stew to vegetarian chili.
